The Alpaca Ontario Fibre Faire & Show is returning for its 19th year to the West Niagara Agricultural Centre. Join us in a celebration of alpacas and the natural fibre industry.
This show is an opportunity for enthusiasts, both new and experienced, to show off their alpacas in the halter and walking fleece show ring, learn new fibre art techniques and shop for all your fibre needs.
The Fibre Artist Marketplace will be showcasing numerous handmade items and fibre art products for all your crafting needs. We will be offering a full workshop schedule to keep you busy throughout the weekend.
The Faire and Show will be open to the public Saturday from 9am – 4pm and Sunday from 9am – noon. Bring your family and friends and take part in one of the most unique events in Ontario celebrating natural fibres.
